Evaluator Retraining

IPA provides professional learning opportunities for educators to meet “evaluator retraining” license requirements.

Individuals who evaluate teachers must complete two state-approved administrator academies during their renewal cycle: Professional Practice (IPA #1801) and Student Growth (IPA #3000).

Individuals who evaluate teachers and principals must complete three state-approved administrator academies during their renewal cycle: two for Professional Practice (IPA #1801 and IPA #1865) and one for Student Growth (IPA #3000).

Individuals who evaluate principals only must complete two state-approved administrator academies during their renewal cycle: one Professional Practice (IPA #1865) and one Student Growth AA (IPA #3000).

Districts may contact IPA to schedule delivery of courses onsite. Please email pd@ilprincipals.org for further information.

As long as you are in the proper renewal cycle, you may choose to complete all of your required evaluator retraining academies during one year. If you choose to complete more than one during a year, you will receive credit toward your required academy for that year and you will receive professional development hours for any other retraining academies completed in that same year. Participants in one or multiple retraining academies in a single year must complete all required pre- and post-academy work—including the application/dissemination plan.
